Oh, I can't explain the reason why The almond lady caught my eye Well, I don't even know why I try Just call it sweet mystery Oh, and I don't even know if it's really me Who tried to see the girl I wanted you to be So I taste these tears from my eyes With salty sweet mystery Sad lights along the Houston highway Another man dead from the truckin' game
The very first night you disillusioned my way Another love dies, and it's such a crying shame Oh darlin', I'm feeling the rain fallin' from the stormy skies When you say you love me, you got tears in your eyes Whoa, I guess there's no need to say goodbye It was such a sweet mystery
